Piers Morgan had some reassuring words about Brexit but not everyone cheered up – our 17 favourite takedowns
It’s a big day for Brexit and Piers Morgan has been doing his best to calm the nation’s nerves.
It started when LBC presenter James O’Brien said this.
There are only three camps now: people who understand that there is no 'deal' better than the terms of membership negotiated by Margaret Thatcher & John Major; people pretending not to understand this & people who genuinely don't understand this.

Which was when Morgan got involved.
What about those of us who don’t understand how Britain ever survived so successfully for CENTURIES before it became a member of the EU just 45yrs ago…? https://t.co/dd1NDtXOwC

If you can persuade the rest of the planet to rewind back to how things were 45 years ago, I’m sure it’ll all be fine. https://t.co/AICWFZhuRA

I just find the doom & gloom Brexit=Apocalypse merchants so tedious. Whatever happens, it won’t be anything like as grim as the two World Wars. People need to get a grip. https://t.co/m1yTJoqLeQ

But if Morgan’s words don’t immediately cheer you up, then these takedowns probably will.

I can’t tell you how excited I am that Brexit won’t be as bad as D Day. They should have put that on the buses. https://t.co/43YfVbO5wX

Hold the phone. You’re telling me Brexit WON’T be as bad as arguably the two darkest periods in human history?!?!
Well sign me the fuck up then! https://t.co/12iyXSYzWq

Will I endure years of hardship then have my house bombed and suffocate in the rubble?
"I doubt it."

We also “survived for centuries” without mobile phones. Or the NHS. Or electicity. This is about as stupid an argument as anyone can make. https://t.co/AgQnG0L1Vx

How far back do you want to take this fatuous line of argument? We survived without the internet, electricity, running water, written language, cooking, clothes…?
The whole point of evolution – both biological and societal – is not to go backwards.
